When I feel bad for not writing my WIP, I remind myself that a blog post counts as writing, and that I shouldn't have to feel like writing only matters if it's a full length book of say 50,000 words. Because it doesn't! Writing is writing whatever you're writing. <br />Totally agree with everything you've said.

That just seems so stressful to me! I was just having a conversation with a composer the other day (I'm in choir) and she was talking about how for her, creating things comes from the things that you consume and writers block comes when you spend all your time creating and not enough time consuming. I'm definitely like you in that I write when I have that writing bug in my ear!<br /><br />Laura @BlueEyeBooksLaura @BlueEyeBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983345219563729728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-5981779762515097282018-03-21T16:48:56.824-04:002018-03-21T16:48:56.824-04:00I definitely agree!

If you are a writer, then you write. Bu...F**k yeah! If you are a writer, then you write. But if you write one word a month, and you consider yourself a writer, then you're a writer.<br /><br />To me, the thing that marks writers out is the desire to write - personally, to me, it's more like a *need* to write, just like I need to read. I know that seems dramatic, but I was an early reader and I've read almost every day of my life; ditto for writing - even if it's just a blog comment or an e-mail. The only time I haven't is when I've been *super* unwell - both mentally and physically. And even then I *wanted* to read and write - I just couldn't bring myself too (or, during migraine attacks, couldn't actually see the page!)<br /><br />I may've got a little off-track there! ;) But basically, I'm with you Em, all the way!
